This game is my personal pick for game of the year, yes, I actually think it is a better game than Oblivion(definitely second). If you thought previous Hitman games were pretty good or so-so(or even bad) this one is completely different and better in every way. Amazing levels, great (although simple) story, PERFECT music, the customization, and the multiple ways to kill people.

In previous hitman games, it never really felt realistic, even in Contracts were there were multiple methods, there wasnt as many as there should have been. Each level is insanely replayable, so much that I started a new game RIGHT AFTER I beat this. There are some bugs, but they aren't really noticeable and don't get in the way. Oh, and this game has easily the best ending in any game I've ever seen (although you might miss it, you have to do something).…Expand

Blood Money is THE classic stealth game. Polished masterpiece it isn't - it's hilariously bad in a lot of ways, the animations and ragdolls, the voice acting and models, but all that is rendered irrelevant. This has near infinite replayability, going through a level a thousand different ways, changing what you do only slightly. You owe it to yourself to play this atleast once, you won't be sorry.

Though of course it is not perfect. The NPC are not the smartest in the world and though the character models look good seems like they had only one male and one female model for the whole game. They just added new skins. Last thing I can complain about it is the controls, a bit of a learning curve.…Expand

There's no better feeling in a game than killing your targets by making them all look like accidents, and walking back out past security as though you were never there. The level of weapon customization is also pretty impressive, you can upgrade guns more than you can in CoD games. My only criticisms would be towards the quality of some of the character's faces (the game's also a few years old now, so that's understandable). I also found the main story to be not very compelling and weird, and above all, unnecessary. I mean, it's called Hitman, you don't really need more of an explanation for why you're doing the stuff you're doing. I also did find occasional errors where I would be detected even where there's no logical reason for it happening, and civilians being credited as witnesses, even though there were none. But again, these are just minor flaws in a pretty impressive package. If you even mildly liked the other Hitman games, you will LOVE this.…Expand

Loved this game! Especially by comparison with Assassin's Creed - this is far better! I mean, common, just look at the variety of missions (not gonna spoil all the fun) as compared with Assassin Creed's boring one-liners!

I played this game a few years back, beaten it multiple times on different difficulties to get the ranks on the levels, that was on my PS2 but now i'm back for more with the PC version, yes, I didn't want to own the same game in 2 platforms before. I'm making an exception with this one, and it's definitely worth it.

There's a lot more focus on interaction with the level's environment in this Hitman than any of the others. The AI aren't randomly sparked off like the previous games either.

Soundtrack- as always with Hitman- is very suspensful and creates the desired atmosphere perfectly. The only real issue with this game is that there isn't enough ways to approach each mission. Having said that, the levels of difficulty and online leaderboards (which don't work anymore) make up for it. It's definitely a 7th generation Hitman.…Expand

Really well designed game where you can be messy or you can be clean. Being clean and perfect can be an incredibly difficult and yet rewarding task. No hand holding, no objective markers, use your brains.

Hitman Blood Money gives you an epic feeling and is by far the best stealth game ever made. Alltho there is some glitches and random bugs, this game is fantastic with you're choice of weapon and you're choice of dealing with the bad guys.

The outstanding level variation is similar to games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. I don't think many games have done something that radical in getting a bunch of wildly different scenarios packed into one tense game.

People giving this game low score got to be joking. This is not only a squel to a successful series, this is so far the best one. Its different somehow, because there is no more "special services" mission when you make 10 missions to the same client, its much more focused: you get in, get the guy (its not that easy) and get out.

You get money for each mission but lose part of your cut if you leave mess that need to be cleaned, even if you just left your famious toxido or pistol in the scene and it need to be picked up. And its always fun to read your "stats" in the news paper in the end of each level, where they describe your assassination, depening on how you did it, of course. I did not expirience any bugs with the game. For the no mid-game savings issue- This is halarious because the game does offer savings, for easier difficulty levels- So if you rather save every few minutes than carefully planning, Just pick up easy difficulty, there is nothing wrong with it, sometimes I run out of patience too, just dont pick up the hardest and complain about it, because the game would never be hard enough if you could save- It was the same with previous hitman titles as well.
Another good aspect is the story- Most missions are seperated from the others but there is a good story behind the game and a big and thrilling twist in the very last missin

Of course, that doesn't mean it's 100% perfect, for example the ragdoll physics and animations look a bit sloppy and every female and male character in the game shares the same body model. But ignoring that, it's one hell of a ride.

I think what I enjoy most about Hitman: Blood Money, is the fact that it makes you FEEL like an assassin. Like a highly professional HITMAN. Every mission is unique and will keep you occupied for quite some time while you wander around in the area, thinking how you should kill your target. It's like being Sherlock Holmes, that is, if Sherlock Holmes was a homicidal brute.

Music is great, exactly what you would expect from Jesper Kyd. Have to say, that opening with the raven sitting on a dead tree with Ave Maria playing in the background sucked me right into the game.

Others may say that you have the choice of going in guns blazing, or being a silent sneaky murderer. Well, I have to say that's not quite true. When Eidos made Blood Money, I think they expected everyone to go in as a silent assassin and not shooting everything that moves. Trying to go into an area just roughing stuff up will prove quite difficult and will definitely kill you on the first 8 tries.

Anyway, no matter how you twist it, Hitman: Blood Money is perhaps one of the most well-crafted video games ever and if you like stealth-based games, this one will be a 10/10 for you.…Expand

A good game, pretty much on the level of the previous games in the series. Just make sure you play it on highest difficulty level so that it were more of a puzzle game rather than a mediocre shooter. Nice ending

One thing that i find unique about Blood Money (or maybe in any Hitman game), is the variety of ways you can take out your target. You can make it look like an accident, a cold gun battle or silent takedowns with the fiber wire.

To end it off, it feels solid and maybe the best in the franchise. Titles in the series before Blood Money felt bitter and awful to me, so please start off with this game if you plan on buying.

In Blood Money, each new level gives you a large and very intricate map to explore. These settings are slightly mundane and therefore more believable, but never boring. You can stroll along in a disguise, or sneak around in a suit. The AI will react in a believable manner either way. What really makes this game great is you can wreak havoc in these locations however the hell you want. Feel like taking a silenced M4 with a drum magazine and unloading on unsuspecting victims through a wooden door? You can. Bring no guns and just push people over railings. Drop an item on the ground and lure them over if you have to. Kill only your target, or kill everybody on the map with a kitchen knife. Speaking of melee weapons, there's a ton ranging from screwdrivers to fire extinguishers and each has its own hilarious animation. Hell, even the ragdoll effect when you shoot somebody is funny in a good way. NPC's run away, scream, and plead for their lives on their knees. Just awesome. Anybody who can appreciate dark humor already owns this game and this review is a waste of time, but since I have an account I want to help raise the score of this masterpiece. Granted, a game can't please everyone, but this is certainly more than 3 goddamn points better than that Absolution trash!!!…Collapse

My most favorite game, because of it's almost never-ending replayability. After 7 years I can still find something new and interesting if I dig deep enough into the missions.

What I personally feel was left out was that with the introduction of hand to hand combat, they could have added more assassin skills. The game is disguisely flawed, that is, you can't make out the flaw superficially. One has to go great depths of the game to find out those tiny little flaws. In general, it is like a pizza. You look at it and it seems perfect. Taste is, good enough. But actually eating piece by piece, you might find 1 or 2 flaws, like less cheese, or overcooked vegetable or meat. Well, that's my interpretation. So not one word, but 2, for the game. "Extremely good".…Expand

Kinda like this game.Hitman Blood Money is so awesome with its awesome graphics,awesome game play and cool story line.This game is so good and the world og Agent 47 is awesome so this game is really worth buying.

This is one of the best Stealth action games. It has a lot of freedom and variety, it requires good deep planning. You will spend a lot of time exploring different paths and hidden places and it's not easy. It's much better than Hitman Absolution, pick it up on Steam or buy an HD trilogy if you're playing on console.

Aside from minor frame stutter that was eliminated by making a simple adjustment in the launcher (enabling SLI even though I don't run an SLI setup), this game is the definition of perfect. The best stealth game you will ever play. There is nothing else to say.

Many good strategies. But things just takes too slow. Graphics are very old and bad. This game is just too unrealistic.This character will be too suspicious. I like the rampage. I want to see more rampage gameplay on youtube. But if I want to play rampage, graphics are too old and bad. Playing games like Crysis would be much better.

Awesome game, on par with contracts for its time and well above the other two.

One of the best games I have ever played. The first hitman game was great but since then they have been lessons in how to make a game you really dont care about. Thank god IO have redemed themselves with the latest installment. Im not entirely sure why Jack J seems to have a problem maybe his inadequate system has caused him to post his frustrations on here and in the PS2 reviews as well.

Just popping an unsuspecting victim in the skull and dumping his body over the side is so much fun. Visually the game is impressive and the scenes are so well thought out. A game im going to be playing over and over again. The game was so close to getting a 10 but its not perfect.…Expand

i played the whole hitman series and like it very much because of its cool gameplay, and i sometimes like it being a bad man ! the new game is great, id gave is ten points but i missed a bit more way to kill your victims.

This game is AWESOME! you can do whatever you want here, be a stealthy assassin, or crazy insane guy who kills everything. the Grapics are sweet too. If you like games that take a long time to beat, try putting it on expert or pro, instead of easy, that makes the game much more fun and realistic too so you have to think a bit harder about how to get the job done without anyone noticing you.

A very impressive game. It requires you to think a bit more than most games, and a truly creative (or potentialy pshycotic killer, such as Hannibal Lectre) will have a blast wtih this. It requires quite a bit of patience in order to get things just right, or you could go crazy and mow everyone down. However, this game has absolutly no replay value, so I suggest that you rent it.

There is a decent amount of variety in the missions themselves and most can be completed in FPS style if you want (my first run through the game I played this way) and playing stealthy is just as much fun - the first person view option is handy in big gun battles too, though his arm holding your weapon looks very poorly done. Weapons wise there is a nice selection and some of these are highly upgradeable. Overall a lot of fun to play but not overly memorable certainly not in the Far Cry league, but still good.…Expand

Implimenting stealth ,patience, stratagey, and skill to compleate a mission. Most FPS games your concerened with your character and not the NPC. In this game the enviroment and your surroundings both for you and against you depending how you play a game. The upgrades on your weaponry add to the gameplay, unlike other FPS games which give you standard weapons per level. Having numerous weapons means, having numerous ways of killing and taking down your enemy and compleating your objectives. The voice overs and are clean crisp and with 5.1 surround sound or higher can greatly work to your advantage and immerse you into the game world. The Physics are very well done. Gameplay is well thoughtout. and replay is value of this game high. The loadtime are about 3-5 seconds I have never encountered any errors with the game, that include crashes bad installs, sound issues, video issues, or lockups. The game even supports widescreen monitors. Which is nice Sseeing how somw games don't support thand and your game play is stretched. Overall I give this a 10 all in all a wonerfull game I would suggest to any body in the FPS gaming world or to a person wanting to even use this game as a show peice for a gaming computer.…Expand

After being disaapointed with Hitman Contracts, I wasnt sure about this game, But after reading all the positive reviews. I bought this game, and I am VERY impressed with it! WOW! The graphics are amazing! The controls/gameplay is GREAT!! stellar music with sound. Just a great game, I highly recommend it!

I have played every Hitman scenario released so far and it's one of my favorite games. I discovered it as a bundle, got hooked and then I bought the expansion and follow-up. The only slight downside is the graphics, it's good (considering the years of release) but not great. I hope a future release of the series will have the same great game with some updated graphics engine.

Definitely worth playing. It serves as a great example of how games, if handled correctly, can be a perfectly legitimate form of art. It's great as a stealth game but the different styles of playing are great reasons to come back and try it again.

This game is excellent if you can overpass the grafical bugs, the CTD's and other problem... But once you're in game it's very fun and every move that you make can change the whole senario so you need to think before you move and I have yet to see that in other games, except Splinter-Cell.

One of the best games i've ever played.The sheer numbers of ways you can dispatch a target is just amazing.The interactivity in the environment is awesome.I would definetly recommend this game to anyone,including people that like to just blast through games cuz you can do that too!

Definitely better than the previous entry of the series "Contracts" but not as good as "Hitman 2: Silent Assassin" for sure.

The original hitman idea ("Codename 47", "Silent Assassin" and "Contracts") was all about trying not to kill anyone but your targets and as silently as possible while this game, offering you extremely cheap progress solutions involving killing and/or sedating people, encourages you not to go for SA. I'm not saying there is no "silent assassin" in there, because, well, there is and being able to kill with SA grade is usually quite fun but the game discourages to do that.
Another thing I missed on my hits was planning. Being able to see blueprints BEFORE starting the mission (as in "Hitman 2: Silent Assassin") you could plan your hits, taking appropriate weapons, checking escape routes and fixing the map on your head being able to move much better during the hit. On "Hitman: Blood Money" you blindly step into your mission without any kind of knowledge (on mission start you can buy hints... another quite dumb thing in my opinion).

This "new" 47 can be seen on cutscenes/plot too (killing witnesses and actually having them in the first place, not being 1 step ahead his enemies, etc). Plot then was far better in "Hitman 2: Silent Assassin", far better.

On the technical compartment, audio and video are good, surprisingly good actually, I enjoyed both visuals (often stopped during a mission to look at the environment) and audio. Controls are quite good too once you get used to the changes from previous 2 installments (action button split in 3 different action buttons).

In the end I'd say this game was definitely fun and well made but not enough to beat the enjoyment that "Hitman 2: Silent Assassin" gave me back then.…Expand

I didn't play this game the first time around, but I was blown away by it in 2015 (running the vanilla game, not sure if there are many mods/improvements). The graphics looked extremely clean for a game this old, the music is incredible... not in an earworm way, but in terms of how it fits the mood of the game.

The gameplay is classic stealth, with an emphasis on stealth. I suppose you can beat most levels with guns blazing but the real fun is in sneaking your way through and killing your targets without anyone noticing. The gameplay is so deep, you can (and are usually encouraged to) spend a ton of time wandering the levels noticing tiny little things you can exploit to accomplish your objectives stealthily. This is definitely a thinking person's game, especially if you resist the urge to check a walkthrough.

Unfortunately the game doesn't strongly encourage super-stealthy play. Sure if you go around guns blazing you'll generally fail, but you can shoot your way out of a messy ending in a lot of levels and not suffer much. The rewards for a very stealthy "silent assassin" performance are mostly that you feel like a badass... you do get more money but money is not very useful in this game. That was really the only real blemish I could find in this game. The story is somewhat weak and plodding, but it's not awful and I didn't find myself skipping any cut scenes.

I loved the ambiance and level design, along with the gameplay they were my favorite part. You go do your dubious deeds in so many cool places... a shady South American winery, a posh ski mansion, a decadent skyscraper party, and well, any more might be a spoiler. It all looks realistic and cool as hell, it really immersed me in the experience the way good design should.

It's not just a question of stealth versus frontal assault, it's poison versus bomb, sniper rifle versus falling chandelier, rigged fireworks versus chloroformed panties.

It's got a dark, noiry style without the grindhouse cheese of Absolution, taking itself seriously even while it lets you do ridiculous things. Even now, having played through more than once, I find myself wanting to go back to try to screw around and finish the missions in new ways or perfect my old plans. I sincerely hope the new Hitman game can even come close to capturing the fun to be had here.…Expand

Love this game. You can either complete your assignments by killing the targets sneakily, or by going on a M4 carnage and kill everyone including civilians. Love the music, definitely keeps you hooked in the "assassin" scenario. 47 is also an interesting character, voice actor is perfect.

Absolutely perfect game ! Those who didn't find it great maybe had the pirated version and stuff which had bugs.I STRONGLY recommend you to try this game and I ASSURE you that you won't regret it,It's a very creative game,wish it had more missions though.I Started the game right at PROFESSIONAL Mode and took 1 month to finish it.I give this game a straight 10/10.

This game is awesome and highly underrated IMHO. I'm starting to worry that I won't ever see something this good again in my lifetime, and this is coming from somebody who hated prior Hitman titles. In Blood Money, each new level gives you a large and very intricate map to explore. These settings are slightly mundane and therefore more believable, but never boring.

In Blood Money, each new level gives you a large and very intricate map to explore. These settings are slightly mundane and therefore more believable, but never boring. You can stroll along in a disguise, or sneak around in a suit. The AI will react in a believable manner either way. What really makes this game great is you can wreak havoc in these locations however the hell you want. Feel like taking a silenced M4 with a drum magazine and unloading on unsuspecting victims through a wooden door? You can. Bring no guns and just push people over railings. Drop an item on the ground and lure them over if you have to. Kill only your target, or kill everybody on the map with a kitchen knife. Speaking of melee weapons, there's a ton ranging from screwdrivers to fire extinguishers and each has its own hilarious animation. Hell, even the ragdoll effect when you shoot somebody is funny in a good way. NPC's run away, scream, and plead for their lives on their knees. Just awesome. Anybody who can appreciate dark humor already owns this game and this review is a waste of time, but since I have an account I want to help raise the score of this masterpiece. Granted, a game can't please everyone, but this is certainly more than 3 goddamn points better than that Absolution trash!!!…Collapse
